With all the negative stuff going on (Trump’s failed assassination) and everything, it is natural to get absorbed in the doomerism. Of course, pretending that nothing scary is happening isn’t the best thing to do. Scary stuff is happening, and we need to take action.
That being said, I personally trust Americans to do the right thing. Trump won’t win, and America won’t go fascist. This is because good people will fight and win. Same goes with other countries (France and the UK for example).
Leaving politics aside, there’s a lot of hope ahead. Science and Tech is advancing, life expectancy is increasing, investment in transit is increasing, countries r going greener, etc. Many cancer therapies r coming out (see the cancer vaccines for instance). Many cities have done some much needed land rezoning, due to which affordable housing will be a thing, 15 minute cities will be more and more common and so on.
The future is looking good, exciting stuff is happening and EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT.
Again, a little fear is good. Fear is what prevented early humans from being killed by predators, and it is what will prevent bad things from happening to us in the future. However, letting it consume our lives is a little counter intuitive.

The future is looking good,
Is it???
It is. Sure, there r a few short term setbacks. However, in the long term time scale, things have been looking up continuously for the past few centuries. Scientific, political, social and technological progress has been made. Coming out was unimaginable for me as a kid. This however, has changed now. I can live life freely now. I have seen homophobic people change their views. This isn’t even a century long time scale. It’s more like a decade long time scale.
People can be dumb sometimes. But largely speaking, they are good. Over time, they do good things. I am excited for all the good things that we would all be doing in the years to come.
Bull mother fucking shit. You are living with your head in the sand, and assuming things will go your way against all evidence to the contrary. And shit is not good RIGHT MOTHER FUCKING NOW! And even with the slim possibility of a Democratic win in the election we still take another step towards tyranny just not three. I do not see a way off this violent path that does not lead to violence.
That being said, I personally trust Americans to do the right thing. Trump won’t win, and America won’t go fascist. This is because good people will fight and win. Same goes with other countries (France and the UK for example).
Hope you’re right.
I disagree.

I echo all of this, but with an important caveat, that together we can change things for the better. Don’t let our fear crumple us into not acting at all, but instead focusing on what needs to be done. We should all be resolute in making a better tomorrow, and that means showing up at every election, every option we have to voice our opinions. The only reason one side shows up everywhere is because they are the loudest. We have to prove that we are the silent majority, we must show up in November, and every federal, state, and local election.

Perfectly said! No need to be all sad n depressed (like I was today) due to events like these. Do what needs to be done. Know that u r not alone in doing this. There r many many people working to make the world a better place. Have trust in them.
lmao
NOPE
What drugs are you on? Seriously, I want some; America is doomed, the rich have won, and the environment is trying to exterminate us.
Trump vs Joe Biden… It’s a close call. Which smelly old senile man should we select as president?
It is not REMOTELY close.
